Duty Management for Bonded Warehouses

Streamline Duty Management Processes

ModernLogic’s Duty Management platform simplifies the complex processes behind bonded warehouse operations, from goods-in to despatch.

Duty Management integrates directly with your Enterprise Resource Planning or Warehouse Management System to manage the storage and processing of innocent, free circulation and duty suspended goods, deferring any duty payments until the last minute to provide the potentially huge cashflow benefits of running a bonded warehouse.

How the Duty Management System Works

Designed for operational speed and compliance confidence, Duty Management gives finance teams full visibility of liability, keeps warehouse teams focused on throughput, and removes the friction from audit preparation.

Capture & Classify

The system captures any required paperwork at goods in, then uses it to ensure the right declarations, documents, and licences are completed during or after receipting.

Control & Move

As goods are stored, transferred, or sold, the system updates duty status automatically and records every movement for easy traceability.

Report & Evidence

Duty Management generates the documents and electronic declarations needed when moving Excise or Customs goods out of the warehouse, whether to another bonded site, to home use, or for export outside the UK.

Reliable Under Bond Movements
Duty Management applies definable allocation rules to ensure any stock in the warehouse is shipped in the most cost-effective manner.

DUTY MANAGEMENT CORE CAPABILITIES

Duty Calculation and Recording

Duty is calculated and recorded at defined triggers using your operational data avoiding the need for repeated manual keying.

Audit & Traceability

Key transaction and data changes have a unique audit reference with who, what, and when recorded.

Bonded Stock Control

Full inventory interrogation with clear, queryable history and clean reconciliation of movements and stock levels.

Out-the-Box Reporting

Access detailed preconfigured duty reports, query the data you need, and export it without friction.

Deferment & Declarations

Generate import and export entries, manage deferment accounts, and produce HMRC-ready reports on schedule.

Compliance COVERAGE
Duty Management supports many key UK Customs and Excise regulations, some of which include:

Built For Control, Compliance and Cash Flow Efficiency

Multi-Client 3PL

When several clients use one bonded facility, the platform keeps each client’s flows, approvals and audit history separate and secure.

Distribution Centres with Definable Storage Zones

Sites mixing bonded and free circulation stock gain automatic control over each without the need for extra systems or manual reconciliation.

Duty-Sensitive Operations

From manufacturing to wholesale, businesses handling duty-suspended stock gain the control and audit readiness required for seamless operations.
